This is a focused and mineral Barolo that shows sandalwood and nutmeg notes alongside orange rind, wet stones and cherry pits. Hints of iron. It’s medium- to full-bodied, slightly austere for now, with tight and firm tannins. Try in 2028.

Very pure fruit with citrus, raspberry and green strawberry aromas and flavors. Medium body, fine and fresh tannins and crisp finish. Crunchy. Drinkable but better in two or three years.

A relatively open (for the vintage) red marked by bright cherry, raspberry, floral and cut hay flavors. Balanced and more on the elegant side, despite a firm grip of tannins on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2042. 600 cases made, 180 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add

Azelia makes three wines with fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, including San Rocco, Cerretta and this wine. There is also a Riserva from Bricco Voghera. The 2019 Barolo Margheria comes from a southwest facing slope opposite the Perno Vineyard. The site has very poor soils with white clay, and the vines (aged 65 years old on average) are forced to push their roots very deep as a result. This wine has a tight and very firm personality with dark fruit, rusty nail, dusty mineral and tight structure. Those rusty mineral aromas give it away as Serralunga d'Alba. This is an age-worthy wine, with 5,900 bottles released.

An aromatic red, evoking cherry, plum, menthol, hay and iron aromas and flavors. Begins with a supple texture, gaining density as this builds to the finish. Gains support from refined tannins, while acidity drives the earthy, mineral elements. Best from 2025 through 2040. 735 cases made, 240 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
